The Fort Collins woman charged with leaving the scene of a crash near Windsor that killed a cyclist last month is set to appear in court for a possible disposition hearing March 28.

Theresa O’Connor, 28, made her first court appearance in Larimer County on Friday morning. She is charged with leaving the scene of a crash involving death, careless driving and failing to report a crash.

Colorado State Patrol officials said O’Connor met with them four days after the Jan. 25 hit-and-run crash that killed 46-year-old Fort Collins resident Ernesto Wiedenbrug. She told them she was driving her 2003 Toyota Camry on an Interstate 25 frontage road near Windsor when she hit Wiedenbrug and left the scene, according to CSP.

She turned herself in at the Larimer County Jail on Feb. 6 and was released later that day on a $2,500 bond.
